Canaan Creek, South Carolina, in the 1950s is a tiny town where the
close-knit African-American community is united by long-term friendships and
church ties. Bonnie Wilder has lived here, on Blackberry Corner, all her
life, and would be content but for her deep desire to have a child. She and
her husband Naz cannot conceive, and he refuses to adopt. Even the support of
her outrageous best friend Thora- to whom Bonnie tells everything- can't help
fill the emptiness inside her.
Then Naz finds a blanketed infant on the banks of Canaan Creek, and suddenly
Bonnie's life is transformed. She has found her calling. Together with Thora
and the rest of the hilarious, tough, and all-too-human women from her church
group, Bonnie creates an underground railroad for unwanted babies. But one of
these precious gifts will come back to haunt her: a deception begun in good
faith comes full circle, ultimately forcing Bonnie to find the courage to
confront a difficult truth at the center of her own life.
Filled with compassion, humor, and tenacity in the face of almost
insurmountable odds, here is a rich, inspiring tale of friendship and family,
sisterhood and mother love...and of finding grace where you least expect it.
